I worked 15+ years in a fast food restaurant. I was informally part of the training team. I can say that despite the job being labled "unskilled," it indeed took skill. There were numerous people who just couldn't do it. There was at least one instance of a person who was training who didn't make it past the first 3 days on the job. You had to learn how to handle the various ovens. How to handle the knives, etc. That doesn't even include interactions with customers

Would you know how to tackle a seemingly endless lunch line of demanding customers without breaking down? How much of what product to make to account for demand?

The phrase "unskilled labor" gets under my skin every time. I didn't sit through numerous classes related to my job just to be told i was "unskilled"

So I have had a ridiculous amount of fun this last week plushifying art and throwing my usual crafting rules out the window as I did so*, and I think I want to make plushifying art a more regular thing? I'm not sure how best to do that, though. Should I make a post that's like "reblog this if you want your art turned into plushies", or "reblog this with links to art you want turned into plushies" or suggest a tag that people can add to art they want plushified, and then I go through the tag when I want to make some plushies? *no paper patterns, just drawing directly on the fabric so each plushie is one of a kind

w's for the day:

Facen't

.... by which i mean i got the radiator assembly off of the mini on my own. got a couple other things off as well, and i've been keeping everything labelled and recording how things go together. recording and labelling is probably making it all take half again as long, but fuck me if it wont be good to have later.

my cousin helped me find + assemble the engine hoist and stand, which are both fuck off heavy as hell and were tucked in the back corner of one of the garage bays bc of course. it's so strange that he's 15 now.

my syllabus for enviro chem got posted !

annnd finally we found a fill for all of my raid days that i'll miss yippee

We already know this to be true. Look at how people (in the US) reacted when COVID shut everything down. And many were labeled ‘essential workers’ until companies could go back to claiming ‘nobody wants to work anymore’ in less than 2 years.

They are, basically then, socially essential. And people should be paid a living wage for any job, especially an essential one.

People who say this are literally saying that they prefer for the workers to all be inexperienced and desperately looking for other jobs. But they somehow also expect good service.

this is so funny. designated frothing fascist bc i think algorithmic machine generated images kind of blow and also are absolutely horrendous for the environment

I don't know if "unskilled labor" is a real job category over in the US but I keep seeing the tags "no such thing as unskilled labor" on videos of road workers doing something cool, machine operators, or just anyone in high vis honestly. And it's been driving me nuts for some reason maybe because it sounds so condescending. And american

I'm an argumentative bastard just like both my parents but I try not to get into fights too much because a lot of arguments just turn into a waste of time but fuck man. It's really hard sometimes.
